Maitland, Florida -- Distributed Processing Technology (DPT), maker of
industry acclaimed peripheral controllers, announces that it's SmartCache
Plus SCSI adapters are now supported by the OASAS I disk array software
from Integra Technologies. OASAS I (Open Architecture Scalable Array
System) is a RAID level 0 and 5 solution for the SCO Unix operating
system. Both ISA and EISA versions of the SmartCache Plus adapters are
supported.

"SCO Unix users now have a solution that provides the performance of DPT's
SmartCache Plus SCSI adapters and the RAID-5 fault tolerance of OASAS I,"
says David Race, DPT's vice president of marketing. "Combining performance
and fault tolerance is vital in environments where small block transfers
are being used and in real-time applications where 100% system uptime is
required. Studies indicate the average cost of system downtime ranges from
$1,000 to $10,000 per hour - and the majority of all system downtime is
caused by disk failure."

"The combination of OASAS I software and DPT's SCSI host adapter allows the
SCO platform or subsystem provider with an easy and inexpensive way to
provide full time fault tolerance and increased performance," stated
Charley Lax, vice president at Integra. " Any platform that incorporates
the DPT SCSI adapter can be upgraded to a RAID Level 5 disk array with the
simple addition of the Integra disk array management software."

SmartCache Plus product features SmartCache Plus is the only SCSI
controller on the market that can be configured as both a noncaching and a
caching controller. The entry-level-priced, non-caching configuration is
converted to a high-end caching controller by simply adding DPT's unique
plug-on caching module and up to 16 megabytes of cache RAM to the base
controller. This scalable architecture provides manufacturers and
integrators a complete range of price/performance options, suitable for
systems ranging from standalone workstations and small networks up to
multiprocessor-equipped file servers.

Its scalable architecture, price/performance superiority and industry
standard compatibility have made SmartCache Plus the SCSI adapter of
choice for manufacturers and resellers alike. Computer manufacturers such
as AST, NEC, NCR, Intel, Wyse, Wang, Siemens, ICL/Nokia have standardized
on SmartCache Plus. It is also available from leading computer product
distributors around the world.
